Perfectly portioned individual lasagnas. This is one of those family friendly recipes everyone in your home will love. A great way to get your kids to eat spinach too. I personally find one to be filling for me, served with a garden salad on the side. My husband can easily eat three.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese. Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts. Makes 9 rolls.

To serve, ladle a little sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.

Yum! These will probably be on next week's menu. I *love* spinach lasagna anyway, but this sounds like a fun way to serve it. Thanks for another great recipe.

I made the chicken ropa vieja this week just so I could make a burrito bowl. Y-U-M! Your tasty, normal-food recipes have played a significant roll in my weight-loss of just under 30 pounds in 13 week. Thank you!

Gina, your recipes are amazing. Thank you for sharing! Parmesan cheese is a little tricky to measure, depending on how fine it is grated, packed, etc...can you estimate how many ounces are in the half cup you used to compute the points?

This looks amazing! My husband and I are doing weight watchers, but I am also very carb conscience. Do you know how many carbs are in this recipe? How can I find the carb counts for your other recipes?

I love this website and all the recipes! The pictures are amazing! Thank you

I made lasagna last night - which I NEVER make, but I had a craving for it. The funny thing is I came to this site and searched lasagna for a ww recipe! Rats! A day late! :) This looks really delicious, I will be trying soon. Thanks for the recipe!

@Katie- Thank you! No, I don't do carb counts but you can probably plug in the ingredients in a site like Spark Recipes to get that info. I'm not sure if they sell low carb lasagna pasta. If they don't they should!

@Jessie- LOL Guess we both had the same thing on our minds. :)

@Jess- Fresh Spinach would be great! Fresh is always best in my opinion.

Every one of your recipes that I have tried have been delicious. Even my husband who does not need to lose weight enjoys them. I would like to try this lasagna recipe but I really prefer fresh spinach over frozen. Will this still work?

Just found this site via a friend this week. Last night on a whim I decided I would make not one but THREE recipes from your site..They were all a hit! I made the lasagna rolls, the Pork Chops with Dijon and the roasted califlower. Looking forward to getting back on WW track and using these recipes to help me reach my goal.. Keep the recipes coming..

I love these, I've had this recipe for years, we use cottage cheese instead but I've come to realize there is little difference between the two. I also cut mine in half, and put the "flower" sides up, just because they cook faster and it's then looked at as "2" per serving. I love your blog by the way :D

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit with my roommates and me! So simple and easy to make after a long day a work. The only issue I had was that it took longer to cook than expected. The cheese just wouldn't melt! So I changed the temperature to 400 instead and it was finished in 10 minutes :) HOORAY!

This recipe I loved it. I made it tonight and we loved it. Even my picky eater that does not like spinach ate it. I am now taking some to my friend that follows your site as well. We just love your site. I have lost 27lbs and let me say by watching what I eat but for dinner they have all been from your site. I can't say thank you enough for making these wonderful recipes. keep them coming and I will keep on logging on.

I made these last night for dinner. They were sooooo good. Its so hard to believe that something this good is low calorie/points. I'm eating the leftovers for lunch today and they are even better. Thanks so much for another great recipe!

I made these for dinner last night...and WOW! They were soooo good! My husband loved them, my 3 year old enjoyed her portion, and my 15 month old ate almost an entire roll. :) So, needless to say, this recipe will be added to my personal "cookbook" of recipes we enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing! And like Stephanie said, it's hard to believe that something that delicious was low calorie/points. Even better!

I'm trying this recipe right now and can't wait! I just realized that I use at least one of your recipes every single week {for the past year} and have never left a comment. I wanted you to know that I have LOVED every single recipe I've tried of yours. You are my go-to recipe girl. I know I can count on your recipes being delicious. I also love the points thing too. I am always sending friends and family to this site.

I just wanted to say thank you. You are extremely talented. Keep the amazing recipes coming!

I love your recipes!!! I was wondering what the fat and fiber is on this one, in case I splurge and eat 2 servings. (I know the points may change once doubling a serving) Thank you, and can't wait to keep trying more recipes. It makes losing weight so YUMMY! :)

I really enjoyed this recipe. I have made it twice now, and the second time I used your roasted red pepper soup as the sauce instead of regular tomato sauce, just to give it a sweeter kick and I think it was delicious. I really love your recipes and look forward to new ones in my email each day = )! Thanks!

I don't ever think you can get too many compliments... so here's another for you, Gina. This was a great recipe! I made it exactly as you described, and next week I'm going to try it with some whole wheat lasagna noodles I just found at the grocery store.

I had these last night for dinner. I made them the afternoon before and they kept nicely in the refrigerator. SUPER easy to make and SUPER delicious. I was very skeptical about the FF ricotta cheese. As any Italian knows, FF ricotta is like...blasphemous. It was very good, and the whole family enjoyed every last roll. I will definitely be making them again soon! =)

These were terrific. I made them for dinner today...they were easy to do and with a side salad it was a wonderful meal, plus I have leftovers for another meal this week. Thanks Gina, for your website. It is wonderful!

Gina- you totally knocked this one out of the park! I made it last night and it was ahhhhmazing!!!! The presentation alone was gorgeous! I didn't have enough sauce so I added some diced tomatoes I had in the pantry (which didn't add any points) and a tablespoon of Italian Seasoning. We love love love lasagna in my home but unfortunately my secret recipe is not very WW friendly. This recipe is just as good as my traditional lasagna! we didn't even miss all of the fatty sausage and cheese. Absolutely fantastic like all of your recipes, Gina!

Glad you liked it!!I'm not sure what the point difference is with whole wheat noodles, I would check the boxes of both to see what the difference is. It should be at least 1 point less per serving if not more.

A WW buddy just introduced me to your site today and I love it - I can't wait to get home and start cooking! I can't decide which recipe to start with, but I think I will start with this lasagna recipe! Has anyone tried it with chopped broccoli in with the spinach - to make it more like a veggie lasagna? Anyway, great site!!!Cyndi

I am new to WW and new to your site...you have made this weight loss endeavor completely painless for me, and you have no idea how much I appreciate it!! I made these tonight and my whole family loved them, even my 5 year old! Thanks for all the great recipes...I can't wait to eat the leftovers!!

Gina, this was the first WW recipe I cooked and I was blown away! Since I plan for a larger meal at dinner time, I had 2 rolls and I was stuffed! Rather than using canned tomato sauce, though, I made my Sicilian great-grandmother's famous recipe for tomato sauce (oregano, basil, bay leaves, and cloves - no added points) and it gave it a flavor boost! Your recipes have made it so easy to stick to WW -super tasty and filling! Thank you!!

I made these last night for the second time and once again they came out delicious! I can't thank you enough for this website. I am starting my fourth week on Weight Watchers and your recipes have made it so much easier and more fun than I ever expected. Thank you!

Gina, another hit recipe for my family. My husband loved it, my parents said it was delicious and my 2 yr old devoured his...wow! I love your site...thanks so much!By the way, I had to use jar sauce cuz I didn't have time to make the good stuff. :)

Made these for a hostess party last night. I also made your Basil Green Goddness dressing to serve with a side salad and it was loved! Thanks for your recipes...they allow me to still have my "diet food scared" friends over for dinner.

This is my favorite. Not only are they yummy and low in points but they look so pretty!!! It is actually a great dish to take to a pot luck since they are individual portions and easy to serve. I am also wanting to know if they freeze well.

Gina! Just wanted to thank you for all of your amazing recipes! I love them....they have all been so good and so much fun to make! I have a quick question about this one: I can't find fat free ricotta cheese (I just checked two different stores in my area). I did find low fat ricotta cheese....which has about the same calories (50) but 2 grams of fat. Do yo u have any idea how that would change the point total for one spinach roll? I was thinking I'd just add one point, but am not completely sure. Thanks for your help and for the great recipes!!

I made this tonight and it was amazing!! My family loved it! I also added baby mushrooms into the mixture which added even more taste! Thank you for the recipe! I also made the white bean turkey chili and added stewed tomatoes. Another great recipe!! Your recipes make WW so much easier!!

Thank you so much for your recipes Gina. I just found this website and made these last week and me and my partner loved them! We are "three for three" for your recipes now and I can't wait to try others. The mushroom risotto was also so delicious!

This... was... amazing. Both times. LOL Made it the first time exactly per your recipe. Made it again tonight but added ground turkey (browned with onion and some Herbes De Provence), cut the ricotta in half (low fat instead of fat free), used about 2/3rds of the spinach, and jarred sauce (we have a favorite). Ended up being enough for 12 whole wheat noodles.

This is why I love your site and your recipes... they're awesome "as is," and easily customized as well to fit personal tastes. You just have no idea how much easier you make it for us to stay "on plan" with Weight Watchers. Thanks so much!!

i made this last night for my family, had to make a few substitutes because of lack of ingredients, they LOVED it!! my husband said to me " thank for cooking healthy for our family" thanks to you Gina for making it so easy and yummy! Joanna

I made this recipe today and it was a HUGE HIT! I used whole wheat lasagna noodles as well (by Ronzoni) and they were delicious. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes! I am having fun going through and choosing a new recipe to try each week. Keep 'em coming! :)

I made this last night for my hubby and I for our date night and they were delicious! I did add some ground beef (the supermarket didn't have turkey) and they were delicious! I even took leftovers for lunch today and they were great! Thank you for having great ideas that even my picky husband will eat! :)

Made this tonight and my family LOVED it! Hubby wanted to know what the back up was when he heard what we were having...needed no back up, he had seconds!!! Thanks for a great recipe that we will be adding to our favorites!

This was one of the 4 recipes I made this weekend for guinnea pigs...um...I mean guests! They all loved it, despite the fact that I used jarred sauce. I doubled the recipe and cooked one batch. I put the other rollups in the freezer to freeze then removed them and packaged them. Voila, a really easy dinner for a weeknight. Thanks so much!

Wow! This one rocks! I have made many of your recipes but I do believe this one has just turned into our favorite. While eating I told my husband I was definately having another one. However, one filled me up so I didn't make it to the second one. lol Thanks for another great new recipe to add to our 'regulars'! You have made cooking fun again!

and also, whoops, i totally missed that "tomato sauce" was a link to a separate recipe. had i seen this, i would have just used jarred spaghetti sauce. instead i used canned "tomato sauce" so it may not have as much flavor... whoops! ooh well, i'll still devour it, i'm sure!

whoops my other comment never showed. my "and also" just kind of came out of nowhere then. haha. what i had tried to say before that post was:

i used FF mozzarella and whole wheat (ronzoni healthy harvest) noodles, and when i calculated it with those two changes, i came up with 4 pts plus?! could it be possible?! i ran with it, and ate two of them for 8. served with a side salad and FF thousand island dressing. YUMMY! hubby thoroughly enjoyed them, as well. he had 3. YUMMY!!

Delicious! My fiance doesn't like spinach, so I had to find a way to make some with and some without. I ended up making four of them with just cheese, and then adding the spinach for the last five rolls. Mine are super spinachy, but that's fine by me. Thanks for a great recipe!

I tried this last night, and it was so good! And, so much easier than regular meat lasagna! I took a shortcut and used a jar of tomato basil sauce (I found a good one that was only 5 points for the entire jar). Both me and my hubby loved it. Thanks so much, and keep the yummy recipes coming!

Totally yummy! I used whole wheat lasagna noodles and added garlic paste and crushed hot pepper flakes in the mix. Had 2 pieces for dinner...very filling AND only 12 pts for dinner. I usually eat a salad the nite before my morning weigh in, but i still managed to lose 1/2 lb after having this the nite before. Great recipe. Can't wait to try more from this site!

I made these tonight. One batch just as the recipe says, and another with turkey sausage. (which I am sure raises the points a little) and BOTH were awesome! I made one pan of 6 and one pan of 8 using a double of the recipe, and there are 2 left! SO good.

This recipe sounds great! I'm making it tonight, but instead of spinach, I plan to use swiss chard since I have a ton of it in my freezer from last summer's garden. Also adding minced garlic and onion to the filling mix.Thank you Gina, your recipes are fantastic! :)

Hi Gina!Love your website and it is my go-to for new and exciting recipes to add to my routine.This recipe was just incredible...I made my own tomato sauce for it which made it even better.This recipe was so rich and delicious I couldn't even believe I made it myself! Thanks so much.Here is a picture of how it turned out...my presentation of it does not do it justice lol- oh and I had a nice big slice of italian garlic bread (I had a lot of points to burn).

These look delicious! I made Turkey Lasagna Bowls this weekend and posted them today. (I posted recipe as beef, but I used turkey this time)....I used 2% mozzarella and part skim ricotta etc. It was really great and in a smaller portion "bowl".

This was amazing! Can't tell you how hard it was not to have two servings of it tonight at dinner!! Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow, and I hate leftovers! You're recipes are really amazing and helping me so much on my weight loss journey! Thank you Gina!!

Gina, thanks so much for this recipe! This was the first of your recipes that I tried. I made this the other night for my boyfriend and I, we both loved it so much we had seconds (whoops) and then ate the leftovers for dinner two nights later! I posted about this recipe (with a picture) on my blog (found here: http://thisisxmelissa.tumblr.com/day/2011/03/27)

Made this last night and it was a HUGE hit. Really had to stretch to get 9 rolls so I think next time I'll double the cheese and spinach and use the whole box of lasagna noodles, and there will definitely be a next time :)

So good!!!! I've made it twice now and everybody loved, even my very picky brother in law! The second time I added italian seasoned ground turkey for the men that bawk over a vegetarian meal and it still was delish!

I've made the lasagna spinach couple weeks ago and it was a big hit, like all your recipes. Absolut fantastic. I have the IPad sitting in my kitchen and everyday I check your website for what I am going to cook:)) My family loves you too. Will make the spinach lasagna tonight for guest.

Made this recipe last night and LOVED it. However, I made 12 roll-ups instead of the 9 that the recipe calls for. Then, I noticed that the photo at the top of the page also has twelve roll-ups too. Twelve fit in the 9x13 pan perfectly. Is the recipe supposed to be for 12 or 9?

These were sooo good. I followed the recipe exactly (for the most part. I don't measure anything, just eyeball it.) but I added a little minced garlic. Served with a salad and garlic bread. I could only eat one bc they were so filling. I'm glad to know they are pretty healthy too. I'm not on WW and have no idea about the points, but I've always been a pretty healthy eater. I love your website because we have the same style of cooking. You give me the best ideas when I can't figure out what to cook for dinner. Thanks!

these are amazingly rich and delicious. I might even add less ricotta next time to lighten them up a bit (not calorically, but taste-wise). REALLY good and one would never know they are good for you! thanks so much. I adore your site.

Hi, I love this recipe of yours.Its tasty and portioning is easy too.I have a question regarding the noodles though.I use the durum wheat lasagna noodles.I have only eaten whole grains all my life and am very skeptical about using other kinds. I tried, but I could not find whole wheat lasagna. dOes it make a difference points wise or health wise?

Hi, Gina: I have been waiting and waiting to try some of these recipes (I'm a teacher and had no time to cook a little more elaborately until school ended). I'm making the lasagna rolls right now!!; I sauteed some mushrooms and zucchini to add to the mix (chopped them pretty small in the cuisinart and then threw them in the ricotta mixture). I know this will be a great dish, and I look forward to trying more! I also wanted to say how impressed and appreciative I am that you respond to everyone's questions and comments. You are not only a genius chef, but a very generous person! Thanks for this site!!

I made these a while back and froze the leftovers. Should I thaw them out and stick them in the oven? Should I put them in the oven frozen? What temp and how long should I bake them? Thought they were great the first time and am looking forward to having them again!

Just made this recipe tonight and it was excellent. I saw a comment from a while back asking about whole wheat noodles... well, I tried it that way and I'll be using regular lasagna noodles next time. These were dry and not ideal for shaping the rolls (edges tore on some). Loved the combination of flavors in the filling and the concept as a whole!

These are in regular rotation in my house. YUM!!! I use whole wheat noodles and they are delicious. I also use a low fat/low sodium sauce form Trader Joe's to which I add ground turkey for some lean protein. Sooo filling and good as a leftover as well! Thanks again Gina!

Is there any specific reason that frozen spinach is used in many of your recipes? I recently took a course in Organic chemistry and my professor advised us not to consume frozen spinach because oxalates are released which can contribute to the formation of cancer. This COULD just be speculation but I am always cautious to avoid frozen spinach now.

Great recipe! Just made this for dinner tonight and my husband gobbled them up. I am still amazed at how he seems to love every one of your recipes even though he claims to detest diet food. LOL. I was a bit lazy and used jarred tomato sauce b/c I was tired after a long day at work. Tasted great but will need to try with homemade sauce next time.

Can you freeze unbaked rolls and then pop'em in the oven whenever you want some, or would it be best to bake all of them and then freeze? I only cook for two and 9-12 Rolls will obviously go to waste. Thanks so much for all your fab recipes...I've had multiple, tonight will be the first time I try the Lasagna Rolls and so excited!

I was wondering what kind of parmesan cheese you used? The pre-grated stuff you can buy in the Deli (the grainy powder stuff) or do you buy a chunk of parmesan and grate it? We tend to buy a chunk of parmesan and use a small grater and make tiny shreds. Would it matter much in the recipe for points value? Would you use the same or less using the fresh grated parmesan? Thank you.

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I prepared this tonight and it was wonderful! The only change I made to it was a threw some fresh chopped basil in the filling and sprinkled some on top as well! Will definitely make again. Thank you!
